As I Lay Me Down

it felt like spring time on this february morning

in a courtyard birds were singing your praise

i'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright

i carried them with me today

now



as i lay me down to sleep

this i pray

that you will hold me dear

though i'm far away

i'll whisper your name into the sky

and i will wake up happy



i wonder why i feel so high

though i am not above the sorrow

heavy hearted

till you call my name

and it sounds like church bells

or the whistle of a train

on a summer evening

i'll run to meet you

barefoot barely breathing



as i lay me down to sleep

this i pray

that you will hold me dear

though i'm far away

i'll whisper your name into the sky

and i will wake up happy



oh darlin'

as i lay me down to sleep

this i pray

that you will hold me dear

though i'm far away

i'll whisper your name into the sky

and i will wake up happy



it's not too near for me

like a flower i need the rain

though it's not clear to me

every season has it's change

and i will see you

when the sun comes out again



as i lay me down to sleep

this i pray

that you will hold me dear

though i'm far away

i'll whisper your name into the sky

and i will wake up happy

repeat twice



when the sun comes out again

i will wake up happy

this i pray
